Abstract

We conducted a study to determine current maternal, infant, and young child nutrition (MIYCN) and family planning (FP) practices and how practices can be improved with counseling. The study consisted of qualitative methods. Mothers and couples were able to attempt and adopt new practices after only one counseling visit, except consuming meat daily due to cost, and adopting contraception, which was challenging due to health system constraints. Most appreciated receiving information, reported positive experiences, and said they would continue practices. It is possible to improve these practices through counseling, although some systems factors should be addressed.
